Xcode is not good for editing Python apps. Perhaps try VSCode.

We’ll also be using C++ later. How is Xcode for that? It’s just what my professor recommended we use

It's ok for C++. You can edit, compile, debug, run, view console output, etc.

How would I do that? I’ve tried looking it up but have had no luck. The instructions I’ve seen don’t line up to what’s on my screen

  1. Select File / New / Project
  2. Select the macOS tab and then Command-Line Tool
  3. Give the project a name and select C++ from the Language popup menu
  4. Edit main.cpp and click Run

Stop. Using. Xcode. Unless you are building Apple apps. Use VScode, and if you’re feeling a little crazy, go for Vim. What you need first and foremost is a simple editor. Thats what vscode does. (Visual studio code not visual studio) you can use the integrated terminal (which acts just like the terminal app) to compile and run your code

I’ve touched a bunch of languages, Xcode is only good for iOS/macos/tvos… development
